Stablecoin transactions reached unprecedented levels in 2025, marking a transformative year for the crypto market. The numbers tell a compelling story: total transaction volume hit $33 trillion, a remarkable 72% year-over-year increase that underscores mainstream adoption acceleration.

The dominance remains clear. USDC processed $18.3 trillion in transactions, while USDT accounted for $13.3 trillion—together commanding the stablecoin landscape. But Q4 alone? That quarter shattered records with $11 trillion in activity, demonstrating explosive momentum heading into 2026.

These figures suggest a fundamental shift in how digital assets are being utilized for real-world transactions. The stablecoin market isn't just growing—it's reshaping financial infrastructure at scale.
